Waitawheta Cottage

This cute and cosy cottage is perched near the top of the tranquil Waitawheta Valley, at the gateway into the Northern Kaimai Ranges. Enjoy river swimming and hiking right from the property or just relax on the deck and enjoy the beauty of the valley.

5 minute drive to the Hauraki Rail Trail and the award-winning Falls Retreat restaurant.

10 minutes drive into the heart of the Karangahake Gorge and Waihi and 15 minutes through to Paeroa or out to Waihi Beach.

Extensively renovated in 2017, the cottage is fully insulated (walls, ceiling and floor) and has a modern fireplace, heat transfer system and high quality panel heating - perfect for winter getaways as well as dreamy summer days on the deck.

Feel free to wander across the land, pat the donkeys and chat to the cows. Dean's Track crosses our southern paddock and Waitawheta Track starts adjacent to our property.

We live on the farm approximately 100m away but out of view and with a respect for your privacy. Please note that our driveway does pass the cottage.

Linen is provided. This includes sheets, duvets, pillows, bath towels and mat, hand towels and tea towels. Please note the second bedroom is a bunk bed configuration. Double on the bottom and single on the top.

Wifi is free and high speed, suitable for working and watching Netflix etc. The TV has a chromecast plugged in and there is a bluetooth speaker in the lounge.

Plenty of fire wood is provided and we will have the fire going for your arrival during the colder months.

A portacot and high chair are available on request.

Late check out and early check in may be possible, just ask.

A cleaning fee of $60 applies to all bookings. This is to ensure a consistently high standard for every arriving guest. We aim for our cottage to be rustic by feel but spotlessly clean, in addition all linen is commercially laundered.


For long stays of 10 days or more, the cottage is serviced every 7 days at no extra charge. This includes a basic cottage clean, fresh bed linen and removal of rubbish and recycling. This is to ensure the end of stay clean does not become unmanageable for us in the four hours allowed for between guests, and also to increase the enjoyment of your stay!
